Disney/Air Tran special

bribert · 04-11-2006

So, has anyone else heard of the special Disney is running with Air Tran?
For flights to Orlando in September & I also believe August Disney can book Air Tran flights at a nice discount!!
Just wondering if anybody has heard/booked these yet.
I got a price from Chicago-Midway for $622 round trip for 9/20-9/30.
Can't decide if I should take it or keep my fingers crossed for Southwest to have some big sale, but with gas prices just going up, up, up, that may not happen.
Would you take it? The only nonstop leaves at 1:50ish & arrives in Orlando at 5:20ish, so we get to the hotel around 7pm. SWA has a flight that would arrive @ 1:10p, to the hotel by 3p, but right now that flights going for $889 round trip!!!
Thanks again for any & all advice.

Man $622!!!

For one person??!!

**DisneyTeacher** · 04-11-2006

I have been SWA watching fares and the deals just aren't there like they have been in the past. We were lucky and got a great rate but I think the DINGS! this spring are at least $20 higher than they were last year at this time.

How many people are in your party? I would like to get there 4 hours earlier but I don't think it's worth over $200.

bribert · 04-11-2006

UMMM, yeah, sorry, round trip for 4 people!
Last year we flew for $49 each way, once on SWA, once on Ted, & I agree, I don't think we'll see those fares again anytime soon!!

leslieh · 04-11-2006

$622 for 4 people sounds much better! I'd take that deal!

FireAngel · 04-11-2006

ah ok!! wow I was starting to worry cause I need to buy some for december

dreamergirl78 · 04-11-2006

Sunds like a very good deal. Cheapest I can find right now from Tucson Arizona to Orlando is 342 rt/pp. I kinda want to hold out too, but not sure how the rates go. Don't wanna miss out on a good deal!
Thanks!

**ddoll** · 04-12-2006

It's really hard to guess right now, since SW still hasn't released August schedules!!
I'm waiting to book SW fares for a FL trip myself. I let the good prices with Spirit go by thinking SW would release any day. What's up with them this year anyway? Everyone seems to think it's because of the rapid gas price increases.

**Dana** · 04-12-2006

Take the deal. With fuel prices rising the way they are, who knows if the prices will go up or not later on. Take it and run. Do you know if they are booking for October? I need flights for then.

NokeyNose · 04-12-2006

I too am going in Spetember and all of teh flights available now are outrageous! Southwest is taking their own sweet time and I cannot believe they still have not eleased their flights yet! Where can I talk to someone about this "Disney Air Tran" you were talking about? Your rate is great!!!!!

Amelia's Man · 04-12-2006

I might be just a bit out of the loop here, but is Air Tran the name of the airline?

**DisneyTeacher** · 04-12-2006

Yes, it is. Here is their homepage:

http://www.airtran.com/Home.aspx

Amelia's Man · 04-12-2006

Thanks for that link Disney Teacher! I'll have to wait to open it up until I get home! The computer I'm on won't let me open it!

**DisneyTeacher** · 04-12-2006

I've never used AirTran but looking at the fares we may have to think about it for future trips. Their fare to MCO is about equal to what SWA has out right now for our flights.

Amelia's Man · 04-12-2006

Our flight in July is on Delta! I'm getting kinda nervous what with a strike looming for them! I'm wondering if I should change airlines now or what? We are NOT going to miss our ship!!
